Barcelona star left ‘very angry’ after Leganés defeat

A leading member of the midfield ranks at Barcelona has admitted to being left furious by the club’s defeat at the hands of Leganés.

Barcelona, of course, marked their return to action a short time ago.

In the knowledge that they had been joined atop the La Liga table by Atlético Madrid, Hansi Flick’s troops welcomed the aforementioned Leganés to Catalunya’s capital, eyeing just a 2nd league win in six.

When all was said and done, however, the Blaugrana’s alarming domestic slide only continued.

This came as a solitary goal on the part of the visitors’ Sergio González, netted inside the opening five minutes, proved the game’s decisive moment.

Despite having looked some way short of their fluent best over the course of the 90 minutes tonight, Barcelona did manage to carve out a number of very presentable goalscoring opportunities.

Time and time again, however, wasteful finishing cost the Catalans dear.

And one individual who could not hide his frustration with as much, post-match, was Pedri.

Speaking to the media on the back of the full-time whistle at Montjuïc, Barca’s midfield star admitted:

“This is a big disappointment. I think we started the match without concentration. It’s clear. We created many chances, but if you don’t score, you won’t win. I’m very angry.”
